Default A Thank you to Jules

I have just returned from sunny Conwy having dropped my newly acquired 75 Tourer off to Jules for some much needed TLC

And a good job too as a few current issues dealt with and a few potential problems highlighted!

The fan resistor has been updated, EGR cleaned, Viton O rings replaced the nearly blown OEMs, a slicone Turbo hose replaced.

After a T4 session the engine has been remaped and my digital speedo enabled

Im extremely grateful that the sunroof drains were checked and a near blockage problem averted!

In adittion to the above Jules kindly sorted a few odd jobs like snipping plenem drains, replacing missing undertray fixings, caliper clips (!), topping up my AC gas and cleaning the EGR.

Finally the crowning glory IMHO, the badly bubbled fork spoke alloys were replced with some refurbished Meteors and new firestone tyres

Here is the man hard at work...



She looks fab

What Jules doesnt know about these cars ain't worth knowing!


Many thanks Jules - see you in September for a few jobs plus her MOT

PS she used far less fuel on the way home than the outbound journey thanks to the remap I presume?

It’s always a good place to get your 75 sorted. Great excuse for a night away in a B&B and see Llandudno whilst Jules does the hard work.

We stayed in Conwy (left the kids at home but not alone) which is a lovely place to visit as is Colwyn bay beach!

Lots to do locally and a great break away as you say!

Top man ,Jules, but my memory must be going.

That doesn't look like the Jules I remember. Maybe it is because the photo is small??

Jules is certainly a top man with amazing knowledge. I shall also be returning in September for service, MOT and the odd other item to attend to.
Ray
PS You are right about the remap too.

Perhaps there is more than one Jules

Its def him LOL at least its the one I met before

This is my third visit, each time the 75 has left in a far superior condition to which it arrived. Just a shame I didnt keep each vehicle he'd work so hard on
